If Rajon Rondo Throws a Punch in the Woods…

UPDATE:Right after I posted this, someone emailed me with some additional comments. And they were so good, I decided to share. Take it away Mal!

"I believe Rajon Rondo, and not Dwight Howard, should have been suspended. Howard threw an elbow during a fight for a rebound. Rondo punched Brad Miller in the face on the game-tying layup. THE GAME-TYING LAYUP! Sounds really, really wrong to me."-Malachi, Idaho

I don’t care how magnificently Derrick Rose and Rondo have played during Games 1-through-5. I don’t care how Rondo’s absence might affect the outcome of Games 6 and (if neccessary) 7. Heck, I wouldn’t care if Rose and Rondo had been handing out money the entire series.

Rondo threw a punch, disguised as a shot-block attempt. And he should be suspended for it. Or at the very least, hit with a flagrant foul. The end.

That Rondo hasn’t been suspended/flagrant'd up says to me the NBA is more concerned with wooing as many viewers as possible to this awesome series than they are with upholding league-wide rules. Rules that apparently apply to everyone else.

Nice.

And by "nice," I mean, "THIS IS COMPLETELY BOGUS!"
